Who Has Maximum Twitter Followers?
How many Twitter followers do you have? Twitter has become a buzz word of sorts and as everyone is rushing to grab a twitter account and start microblogging, some famous twitterers have gathered a mass following of thousands of followers. Can you guess who has the maximum number of twitter followers… over 65000!
I checked out TwitDir, a Twitter directory where I could find out the top 100 followed people on Twitter. It reveals @Ijustin (of Tasty Blog Snack), @CNN and @Techcrunch (of Techcrunch), @Leolaporte (of Life of Leo) are topping the charts with 65535 followers each (the exact same number of followers, coincidence or is it a bug!). Maybe I should start following one of them and break the synchrony.
As new twitters, you will realize how difficult it is to get even a few followers. And getting thousands of people to follow each word you say and reply to it… is amazing. It makes you a famous netizen by itself. Do you follow me on Twitter.

I still don’t find any useful thing on Twitter, so I really don’t care how much followers I have.
Twitter’s had a lot of hype, and it’s not quite perfect (ex. not planning for more than 65535 followers is just poor planning), but I’ve found it to be useful both for communicating with a number of friends at once, increasing the visibility of sites, and sometimes just gives me a chuckle when my friends post a witty 140 character snippet.
@Guillermo Twitter’s usefulness (i.e. personal value) is not in how many followers you have anyways – it’s in how many people -you- follow. Think of Twitter as a fancy chat room with only the coolest people. Subscribe to feeds of people you want to be like or want to learn from, and you’ll start seeing the value ;)
@Ed And yes, it is excellent for increasing visibility. Somehow, it allows people like me (I’d call myself an underdog) to break through that celebrity wall, AND catch on to things before they become too old to be useful.
I didn’t know the value of Twitter until I really started using it on Feb 5th. At that time, I had 3 followers. Now, I have over 120 (I haven’t logged in today… I’m probably off by about a dozen).
I’m twitter.com/mayobrains by the way ;)
